Coborrus County Transit System <br />Finol Report — September 2015 <br />A deviated fixed route was drafted and presented during Steering Committee #2 (see <br />Figure 22 on the next page). This dependable trip routing would make it very appealing to <br />people who want affordable transportation from Cabarrus and Stanly Counties into Metro <br />Charlotte. <br />If a stop were allowed at Hwy 24 and US 74, at least the ambulatory riders could transfer <br />to the CATS transit corridor that runs down US 74 into Charlotte much faster than the <br />general purpose traffic (including the CCTS LTV traveling on Independence Boulevard). <br />This could become a serviceable commute service for some riders from Stanly County but <br />more probably for workers from the southernmost portion of Cabarrus County. This could <br />be a two or three county collaboration, with Mecklenburg and/or Cabarrus County trips <br />destined to UNC /DUKE /REX traveling in one direction while Stanly County travels in the <br />opposite direction to Charlotte. CCTS would shuttle back and forth between Midland and <br />US 74 in return for a mileage credit from any other transit providers who participate. A <br />reasonable transfer location would be needed in Midland that provides passengers <br />restrooms and shelter from the weather. Note that any improvements made by private <br />property owners to accommodate such a transfer that could be quantified will be proposed <br />as a source of local share to this out -of- county medical transportation initiative. <br />Rowan Transit System provides Medicaid transportation and complementary ADA <br />paratransit service for Salisbury Transit. Rowan Transit System also operates the Rowan <br />Express South, which provides service between Salisbury, China Grove, Landis, and <br />Kannapolis. The Rowan Express South connects with the CK Rider Transit system and the <br />Amtrak station in Kannapolis. Rowan's medical out -of- county trip demand is to Charlotte <br />and has to traverse Cabarrus County from north to south. Mecklenburg County Transit <br />System also recently expressed interest in reactivating coordination with CCTS on Medical <br />Transportation Trips. <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 155 <br />
